Okie Dokie - as our community gets larger, and filled with people who are NOT gamers, let's make sure we have definitions clear and front and center. (Male a definitions thread could be stickied to the top?)
To my newbie friends on here, here is the Urban Dictionary definition for NPC. (note: there will be some who add some finesse to this, but this should suffice so you understand the inference above and elsewhere.)
Top definition -- URBAN DICTIONARY
NPC
A play on video games "non-player character" mixed with a play on The Simulation Hypothesis.
An NPC is seemingly a human that is unable to think objectively.
We exist in a simulated reality and some humans take on the role of NPCs, spouting "opinions" they are programmed to spout and repeating in a cult-like manner.
Liberal: (Yelling) Fuck Trump! Ban guns!
Conservative: (Yelling) Fuck Hillary! Ban immigrants!
Friend: Bro, I'm sick of all these people just repeating shit...
Me: Its hard to move forward with all these NPCs.
Soooo... NPC is the new term for sheeple for all of us oldfags. Right? Preciate it, cause I sure have been wondering why the sudden rise in the term recently. I knew what NPC meant in gaming, but didn't connect those dots. NPC is the term for sheeple in the game world? Or am I just grasping at straws here with my old ass? Fuck you young punks anyway!
NPC is not the term for sheeple playing in a computer game world per say. But I suppose there is no strict rule to exclude that if your creative expression so desires.
It's definition is just being expanded to include the individuals of libtard mobs in real life (as an example).
This is due to the parallels between procedurally generated NPC dialogue in computer games and the misguided rhetoric of left wing mob chants, as well as the fact that that the word 'Mob' is literally the +1 alphabet (Caesar shift) cipher of 'NPC'.
